The room was spacious, decorated in a relaxing zen-like theme, and comfortable, with a distant view of the ocean from our 2nd floor porch. We enjoyed the gas log fireplace. The best thing was the delightful breakfast (4 choices each day) that was brought to our room in a basket each morning. The staff people were all very kind and helpful, and gave us chocolate chip cookies when we arrived. The bathroom had nice amenities, including the most wonderful smelling, locally made lavender soap. The hotel is only a few blocks from Ocean Avenue, which is the main thorofare in Carmel. We will stay here again!
